    perhaps something like this?

    (You're just being childish Precarious :D )


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,880 ✭✭✭Raphael


    Not really OwenW, i was thinking more along the lines of a serious, original poster

    Also any advice on somewhere else i could post this might be appreciated, seeing as ye wont take this seriously

    Any chance of a bit more info on it?

    Sure, what do you need?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 761 ✭✭✭PrecariousNuts


    Could we get a few photos? Even if they were from rehearsals etc. They would probably look good on a poster.

    I take it you don't want the red writing/ladders on the poster. Had you anything in mind about it?

    Are you looking for a full size poster that will be hung up around Dublin or just a small handout sort of one?

    What do I win?



    Seriously though, give us something more to go with. Like some members of the cast, where it's being held etc. etc.

    oh God

    Ok, main charaters are played by:

    Jeff O' Loughlin
    Tara Walsh
    Aonghus Collins
    Paul Cauldwell

    (in that order)

    I cant actually get pictures for you, because we need to have posters by the next rehersal

    It's on in St. Michaels Theatre, on the 6-8th of may (i think)

    It'll be done in several sizes, and probably on the front of the programme

    Synopsis of story can be found - here

    roflmao excelllent :D

    Ok without the pictures its going to be hard to achieve a colourful/exciting poster.

    My first thoughts were to have a black background with a silhouette of a dancer in white with red text in front of it.

    Is this thing a tragedy?
    Have you any ideas?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,446 ✭✭✭✭amp


    I liked the silloute idea but against a sky scraper skyline. So here's my idea for it. It's two colours which is cheaper to print. Went for blue because all the other posters are red and I liked it. Who's directing/producing? It'd be nice to include a Directed by etc. somewhere.

    ah nice, I don't think I could improve that in any way.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 578 ✭✭✭Owenw


    Sorry, Raphael, I was being silly too.

    Nice job amp, I like the cutout in the silhouette

    Where's St. Michaels Theatre and how much are the tickets?

    Hope the show goes well


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,880 ✭✭✭Raphael


    amp, i love you as much as any straight man could

    I may need you to change the dates, but other thatn that its great


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,446 ✭✭✭✭amp


    No bother. I've still got the original .psd file.

    Edit: Not sure why I had 6 - 9 May but I tweaked it a little:

    Em, 1 more thing amp, its Jeff O loughlin, and Aonghus Collins

    (sorry if it sounds ungrateful, but im a perfectionist)

    Are you sure it's Jeff O loughlin and not Jeff O'Loughlin?

    I've presumed it's the latter in the above.
